The iWatch. It’s been a source of rumors for years now. Many people have thought that Apple should make a watch ever since the introduction of the iPod Nano that doubled as a watch. Over the last few weeks, rumors have heated up over speculation that Apple was considering making a watch. For those of you that are interested in the iWatch, it looks like Apple is moving forward with the project (sorry, Stephen).

According to Rene Ritchie of iMore, who has been accurate in previous Apple device predictions (such as the smaller Lightning connector), Apple will be producing a watch device soon.

The iWatch project — regardless of how the device is eventually named or marketed — sounds like its a go. We haven’t heard anything specific about feature sets or timelines yet, but we have heard it’s moving forward.

If this holds true, Apple is looking to revolutionize yet another device. Apple’s influence in the industry has been apparent since the introduction of the iPhone, which changed phones forever, and the iPad, which changed tablets forever as well. With the iWatch (or whatever it will be called) Apple hopes to change the way we wear devices by having powerful technology within easy access on our wrist. If any of you are like Stephen and don’t think the iWatch is a functional idea, you’re sure not alone. But Ritchie gives a response to those of you that don’t believe in the iWatch too:

If the entire project sounds like a dumb idea to you, however, just remember how dumb Apple phones, tablets, mini tablets, and set top boxes sounded to many back before — and even after — they were first announced.

Are any of you interested in picking up an iWatch? Do you think it’s stupid and a waste of Apple’s time? Give us your opinions in the comments section below!
